Description: We are glad to present the next 16th volume of journal "Advanced Engineering Forum". In this volume are collected articles which describe the results of engineering solutions of actual problems in applied materials, processing technologies, researching and designing of parts of modern machines mechanisms. Published articles will be useful for professionals from field of mechanical engineering, students and academic teachers.

Description: Using of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. Design and development of mentioned materials must take account into knowledge of basic properties of all components, because they could be special by their binder system, used fillers or by other technological solutions.
Edition will be useful for experts and practical engineers in the field of using concrete and composite materials in the different areas of construction.

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) refers to a 'highly flow-able,non-segregating concrete that can be spread into place, fill the formwork,and encapsulate the reinforcement without the aid of any mechanicalconsolidation. SCC is regarded as one of the most promising developments inconcrete technology due to significant advantages over Conventional Concrete(CC). In this study cracking caused by external loads in reinforced SCC andFRSCC slabs is examined experimentally and analytically. The mechanismsassociated with the flexural cracking due to the combined effects ofconstant sustained service loads and shrinkage are observed. One of theprimary objectives of this study is to develop analytical models thataccurately predict the hardened mechanical properties of SCC and FRSCC.Subsequently, these models have been successfully applied to simulatetime-dependent cracking of SCC and FRSCC one-way slabs.
